Time in the Love Shack, Kerrville Group 2!

Group Two brought with them their smiles, their sweet personalities and their eagerness to learn the basics of some improv piecing –along with their machines, their tools, their notions, and most of all – THEIR SCRAPS!

This bag was recently purchased at a guild auction night, and it came back to play a big part in our day:

PILES of scrappy wonderfulness and possibilities to be!

My demo star!

The text fabric was from a pre printed panel for sewing something – these were the assembly directions left after the item had been made ---it’s cotton, it’s fun – so why not use it!

Yeah, we had an awesome time –such fun little blocks!

Look how they are coming together!

Soon they will be this:

Love Shack!

Love shack is a workshop exclusive pattern, but you can make your own through the various tutorials found under the Free Patterns tab. This is a compilation of Happy Scrappy Houses, Maverick Stars, Wonky Hearts! You can still pick up a copy of Tonya Ricucci’s Word Play Quilts in Quiltville’s Book Store to learn everything you want to know about free hand piecing of words. Upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers, and loads of inspiration in the gallery section.

The sun is shining brightly in San Antonio this morning as I pack up the last of my stuff and head home to North Carolina. I’m looking forward to being home – but it will be just for a few days as I travel to Florida on next Wednesday! I hope they keep the WARM on for me, as it certainly will not be warm back home.

However, I have a weekend at the cabin planned ahead ---and it can be as cold as it wants, I’ll be sewing away and enjoying some R&R up at Quilt Villa!

Tonight ---when I get in, we have our drawing for the winner of the Sewing Mates Feathermate table. DID YOU ENTER ??

I love the shops in Kerrville and Fredericksburg, Texas. Some of my favorites. I know they showed you a great time. I have a Featherweight but would love to have another one. You can email me to let me know I won at winsteadpab@sbcglobal.net - Cheryl Winstead from Texas
